I'm a writer. And I have just started learning Xemacs and have found that it's
editing capabilities are superior to any wordprocessor I've ever used. (like
C-x-t, C-x-e, C-t, etc,etc).
But the problem is: typing in text-mode and seeing the little arrow at the end
of the line and the breaks mid-word is a distraction. I'm much more
comfortable looking at the screen in auto-fill mode.
But then if I open the text in a word processor (AbiWord, Word) it retains the
line breaks, which I have to manually delete to reform the paragraphs. If I
have to do that to a 100,000 word manuscript I'll go crazy.
Actually the only reason I'm opening the file at all in a word processor is
because I haven't learned how to format and print out my manuscripts from
Xemacs (with double spacing and headers and page numbers) yet.
If I could do it all from within Xemacs that would be preferrable.
And I'm not adverse to learning a little LISP to do it.
Any help I can get would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Elaine
